This seems to be correct to me. I am no doctor but I had diverticulitis. Your colon has little side pockets (like an appendix) and sometimes something (food) gets stuck there and the pocket (diverticulite) gets inflamed. This hurts a lot and can be very serious if not treated promptly with antibiotics. Usually this means a few days in a hospital on an antibiotic drip. If the inflammation erups and you are not exactly in the emergency ward of the hospital at the time you have a very good chance of dying.
